Little Things

Little things
They always told me to dream big and achieve big.
Why is it then that the little things make a difference.
The smile on a stranger’s face when you compliment them.
That sense of relief on a student’s face after an exam.
The rush of excitement when one person out of the 7 billion on this planet says yes.
The shock when your sibling says you look nice.
The one phone call you’ve been waiting for.
When the food finally arrives at the table.
That hot shower after a long day.
Reading your favourite book on a rainy afternoon.
That conversation with your best friend.
That one cheesy bollywood movie that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.
When your favourite team wins the match.
Looking at baby pictures, and maa ke haath ka khana.
After all we are nothing but a speck of dust, suspended in a sun beam, might as well make the little things count.
